Features

       •   Use  of WebKit for an accurate articles' representation, complete with all formatting, colors, images
           and links.

       •   Support of multiple dictionary file formats, namely:

           •   Babylon .BGL files, complete with images and resources

           •   StarDict .ifo/.dict./.idx/.syn dictionaries

           •   Dictd .index/.dict(.dz) dictionary files

           •   ABBYY Lingvo .dsl source files,  together  with  abbreviations.   The  files  can  be  optionally
               compressed with dictzip. Dictionary res-urces can be packed together into a .zip file.

           •   ABBYY  Lingvo  .lsa/.dat  audio archives. Those can be indexed separately, -r be referred to from
               .dsl files.

       •   Support for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or any other MediaWiki-based sites to perform lookups in.

       •   Ability to use arbitrary websites as dictionaries via templated Url patterns.

       •   Hunspell-based morphology system, used for word stemming and spelling suggestions.

       •   Ability to index arbitrary directories with audio files for pronunciation lookups.

       •   Full Unicode case, diacritics, punctuation and whitespace folding.  This means the ability to type in
           words without any accents, correct case, punctuation or spaces (e.g.  typing  'Grussen'  would  yield
           'grüßen' in German dictionaries).

       •   Scan  popup  functionality. A small window pops up with the translation of a word chosen from another
           application.

       •   Support for global hotkeys. You can spawn the program window at any point, or  directly  translate  a
           word from the clipboard.

       •   Tabbed browsing in a modern Qt 5 interface.
